The mysteries of the ocean abound. And now, a group of student researchers is trying out a new way to gain better and more accurate information — with a robot fish. The robot, named Belle, was created ...
An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have created a robotic fish that doesn’t just collect plastic pollution; ...
The Research Centre in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) at Universitat Jaume I has tested a new way of linking robots underwater. This week, at PortCastelló, researchers attached a ...
When designing fish-like underwater robots, you want a means of propulsion which is both energy-efficient and reasonably speedy. A new tail-flapping system may fit the bill, paving the way for wider ...
In the future, robots will not only replace caregivers and make sushi, but they’ll also lend a hand offshore. According to Reuters, a team of European scientists at the University of Essex developed a ...
An aquarium can really add a touch of class to a home or business, particularly if it's got some fancy fish in it – but such ...
A Wave Glider unmanned surface vehicle was deployed on eight multi-week missions over the east Florida continental shelf to detect acoustically tagged animals. (Liquid Robotics, Inc) CAPE CANAVERAL, ...
Microplastics are found nearly everywhere on Earth and can be harmful to animals if they’re ingested. But it’s hard to remove such tiny particles from the environment, especially once they settle into ...
Researchers at the Intelligent Biomimetic Design Lab at Peking University have developed a bio-signal framework showing that fish muscles do far more than generate swimming motion. In a series of ...
Believe it or not, robotic fish aren’t anything new—Issac Newton developed a coal-fired sturgeon in 1013 A.D., while the ancient Sumerians used to ride on the backs of stone-and-sinew whales as they ...
A coil-powered robot fish could make underwater exploration more accessible. A coil-powered robot fish designed by scientists at the University of Bristol could make underwater exploration more ...
